But... Nothing is always and forever, including seemingly endless agonies. And our little Fae will need to break thrice to escape this cycle of torment, find the happiness and family this life has always wanted to gift her, and keep all she gains safe.
Even if she needs to wake the long Dead Dreamer to find and protect it all.
What To Expect!
1. Reality is the dream of a dead goddess (NOT the MC) whose rotting mind can be felt at the edges of the Rifts. Do not wake her up... please.
2. Matriarchal societies with tall and buff soul drinking Reavers, Beholder inspired mafia types, and song wielding shapeshifting Fae.
3. Sex is in this story, and serves to illustrate emotional growth, pain, and eventually the spark of hope for our heroine.
4. Trauma! D: Lyra is young and naïve whereas her mistress is cunning, cruel, and manipulative. Affections are literally cultivated and used as tools to keep the young Fae bound to this monster's wills and whims.
Lamentations of the Dead Dreamer is a queer dark adult fantasy story. It involves themes and topics of abuse (mental, physical, phycological, etc...), suicide ideation, sex, mild language things, slavery, and abandonment.
